The cast is lead by Jules Willcox (Eurydice), Graham Sibley (Orpheus), and Elliott who plays her father. The other characters are intruigingly named Little Stone (Jessie Losch), Loud Stone (Kelly Ehlert), and Big Stone (Abigail Marks) who serve as Ruhl’s interpretation of a Greek chorus. A Nasty Interesting Man/Lord of the Underworld is played by Ryan Vincent Anderson.

Violinist and composer Endre Balogh has written original music for this production and will play live during the performance to “highlight Orpheus’s role in Greek mythology as the world’s greatest musician.”

Eurydice was written by Ruhl as an homage to her father, and in order to have “a few more conversations with him.”

Each Saturday, from the time Ruhl was five, Patrick took his daughters to the Walker Brothers Original Pancake House for breakfast and taught them a new word, along with its etymology. (The language lesson included words such as “ostracize,” “peripatetic,” “defunct”—are memorialized in the 2003 Eurydice). “The Surreal Life: The Plays of Sarah Ruhl” by John Lahr/The New Yorker
